About Advanced Adversary Tactics
With our Advanced Adversary Tactics learning path, you’ll experience the full spectrum of techniques used by adversaries, including methods used to gather information, gain access, escalate privileges and more.
This path prepares you to understand the modus operandi of those who breach systems, implant their code and secure their continued presence. A series of hands-on cyber ranges and lab experiences inspired by the MITRE ATT&CK framework give you immersive insights into real-world tactics. These range from reconnaissance to resource development, initial access to execution, and persistence to privilege escalation. We'll also explore defense evasion and crack the code on how attackers gain credential access.
Who is this learning path for?
These hands-on labs are updated with the latest tactics and new content to prepare you for the most common threats. They’re useful for any cybersecurity professionals who want to better unmask the techniques and tactics used by real-world adversaries, including:
- SOC Analysts
- Penetration Testers
- Security Managers
- Security Engineers and Cloud Security Engineers
- Secure Coders
- Anyone involved in defending computer systems and networks against sophisticated cyber threats
By the end of this learning path, you will:
- Get hands-on experience with adversarial tactics and techniques work so you can better defend against those threats.
- Be able to think like an attacker and understand how cyber adversaries strategize and move through networks.
- Know how attackers set up cloned websites, establish persistence with trojanized binaries and other common (and some uncommon) techniques.
